With escalating research costs and time-to-market demands always mounting, the pressures on the synthetic chemist for increased efficiency and productivity have never been greater. Quick and easy access to timely and relevant synthetic information can certainly ease this burden. SciFinder™ is the leading tool for chemists to explore and mine the vast landscape of publicly available synthetic information including access to the CASREACT database, one of the largest collections of curated reactions in the world. This talk will focus on the advantages of the database and the effective use of a powerful array of search, analysis and linking tools and how they can be effectively utilized to solve research problems typically faced by chemists.
